Schools serve a critical role in the cultural adjustment and long-term integration of refugee children and families into U.S. society. Schools can help strengthen refugee families, which will ultimately help their children, by engaging refugee parents, communities, and the community-based organizations that support them. For school-related resources on family-community engagement, visit BRYCS’ Schools page.
